Predictions for Conference Tournaments

It's time for Conference Tournaments. Thus is the time when any team can make a name for themselves and get into the big dance no matter how bad their record is. Let's get into my predictions.

ACC
Finals Predictions: #1 UVA vs. #2 Duke
2 teams that will likely get #1 seeds in the NCAA tournament, Duke defeated Virginia in a tight game when the 2 teams met earlier in the season. I expect the results to be different this time around. UVA will be fired up after their loss at Louisville on Saturday, and I see them playing a near perfect game and beating Duke in a close one.

Winner: UVA

Big 12
Finals Prediction: #2 Iowa State over #1 Kansas
PG Monte Morris will be the difference for OSU in this one. The Cyclones don't make many mistakes, and that will be the key to a victory over an overatted Jayhawks team

Pac 12
Finals Prediction: #1 Arizona over #2 Utah
Arizona is a very balanced team who is just as good offensively as on defense. I think the difference in this title game will be TJ McConnell. I believe that the senior PG will come to play and that will be the key to stopping Delon Wright a very tough Utah team.

Big 10
Finals Prediction: Wisconsin over Maryland
The Terps are a pretty small team, although very talented. This will be a huge problem, as 7-1 center Frank Kaminsky could tear them apart. As it has been in many cases, Kaminsky will be the difference, and the Badgers will avenge an earlier loss to Dez Wells and Maryland and pull out a close one.

Winner: Wisconsion

A 10
#1 Davidson over #3 Rhode Island
Davidson is ON FIRE. They can score with just about anybody in the land, averaging over 80 points per contest. Their shooting will be the difference in winning a conference tournament title.

Big East
#1 Villinova over #3 Georgetown
Nova has one of the best backcourts in the land, as Darron Hilliard and Ryan Arcidiacono both shoot very well. The cats also have great depth, and they will handle Georgetown  fairly easily in this title game

Winner: Villinova

American
#1 SMU over #3 Cincinnati
Led by Guard Nic More, the Ponds have 4 players scoring in double figures, and they will be playing with a fire after being snubbed from the dance last year. They will use their talent and motivation to win the American Conference Tournament.

Winner: SMU

SEC
Kentucky over Arkansas
We all know how good UK is. 31-0. The Razorbacks simply won't be enough
